Adding Comment Buttons
-
Hey there, I’m looking for help on adding comment/like/share buttons on my blog. Right now I can publish a post but there’s no button for anyone to interact with it that I can see. Could someone help me here?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Comments are open on your blog. Click this link and scroll to the end of the post https://lasvegasticketsblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/11/the-las-vegas-51s-big-changes/
Unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme, the front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.
In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.
Additional information
Comments on posts and pages are enabled by default on all WordPress blogs. However, you can enable and disable comments on WordPress.com blogs on this page Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
That is where you set up defaults for comments and other comment options http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules
